PRACTICAL PLURALISM IN TEACHER EDUCATION

Authors

  • John H. M. Andrews University of British Columbia

Abstract

After reviewing the recent history of the effects of educational movements upon teacher education, Dean Andrews arrives at the present point where there is no longer any single agreed version of what the future of schools will be. He outlines the response to this situation of the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia: a wide range of alternative programs that have been offered in the past year or two, in order to effect change "on a broken front". He discusses the problems arising from this pluralistic response to the demands of a pluralistic society, conspicuous among which is the need for mutual tolerance of widely differing philosophical bases of action.
